| Returning to Cnossus, of which he was a citizen, strange faces everywhere present themselves. |
| There is a great town there, Cnossus, where Minos reigned who every nine years had a conference with Jove himself. |
| He was king of the island, and he reigned, at the age of nine years only, in Cnossus over the five nations. |
| At Cnossus, save some blocks of the amphitheatre, the Roman monuments visible in Venetian times have almost wholly disappeared. |
| Cnossus was also assigned as the site of the labyrinth in which the Minotaur was confined. |
| In its structure and general arrangements it bears a general resemblance to the palace of Phaestus and Cnossus on a smaller scale. |
